Your Children's Ponciest Food Statement

[NotQuiteCockney]

This one's for the fish ...

DS1 demands blood oranges, and will request them over all other oranges. Also, he prefers homemade popcorn to cinema popcorn.

What poncey food requests do your kids make?

Dd, aged 5: 'When are we having smoked salmon pasta again?'

Mummy's special 'honey-buttered carrots'... my friend stood mouth wide open when he once requested them at her house...

3 year old asks for kedgeree all the time too

i only like grapes fom waitorse
to a amet of mine

heh heh

Ds refused to finish his birthday cake at his 3rd birthday because he had found a jar of olives.

Age 2 he said "Are these organic apricots?"

Oh, and mine asks for "octopus at the airport". It's cold baby octopus marinated in a sort of sesame-chilli thing. Really nice.

"i don't like strawberries out of season, mummy"

"oooh, fresh basil tastes so much better, doesn't it, mummy?"

Oh god, there's loads more

The other day at a friend's dd (4) asked for some ketchup. In her best Margaret Thatcher patronising style: 'but only the organic one please, the ordinary one is disguuustiing I'd rather not bother thanks'

Wish I could join in, but alas.....

snap, sally

me in london "where do you want to go for lunch, fillyboy?"
filyboy "yo sushi is nice..."

or we have tantrums due to no yo shushi in cardiff (haven't told him about zushi, too bloody expensive)

DD: "I waaaant PRAWNS please mummy!" (farmed organic, natch)
Ds "Oooh, I like quails eggs mum, can you buy them again?"

hardehar!

The best I can do is pistachio nuts (ds - 2 yrs)....

Ha ha - DS - smoked salmon please

DD - I want olives. Me: You want olives what? DD (sulky) please.

The best I can come up with is that they refuse pizza wedges wotsits sausage rolls cocktail sticks squash and the likes at partys and graze on grapes carrots and water. Always commented on.

At Starbucks sharing panini: DD1 aged just 2: 'Mummy I want all those blueberries'
Me: 'They're not blueberries darling, they're olives. I don't think you like them'
DD1 'Yes I do, daddy gives me them.'
DD1 eats all olives.

Oh, DS2 (20 months) would live on brazil nuts and popcorn, I think. Well, and anything he could scrounge. He quite likes spicy things, so far.

A friend's DS is a real future cook. Or 800-pound person. He demands to be involved in food prep every night. He will drag his mother over to smell different foods. When he was younger, he would often binge on spicy or strange foods.

or how about...

"oooh, shall we have quails eggs, mummy? Oh no, they're not organic, are they?"

My God-daughter asked for calimari in McDonalds

(Her grandmother took her NOT me, you understand, I was at home lentil weaving)

child to mum: waaaaaaaah moan waaaaaaaaaaaaah
mum to child: belt up and I'll buy you a burger

child shuts up

dd1 to me: Mummy, what's a burger?

fraid my kids havent said anything like yours.

tho dd1 tell dh that raclette cheese smells like feet.

apparently dh said to a friends mum (when he was about 8) when offered fish fingers:

'i dont like fish, only smoked salmon'

tis the stuff of family legend

'I only like home-grown peas actually' to friend dishing up frozen ones. Wouldn't mind except he eats frozen all the time at home!

''Actually it's called a margarita'' to woman at soft play centre cafe, when she said: ''one cheese and tomato pizza''. Followed by ''don't you have any anchovies?''..(that's anchovies, please darling...I spluttered)
